It's a very quiet day. It's been quiet -- time passes slower when there's nothing going on. I do think that mental time, as opposed to actual time(measured by the clock), is much more important.



I went to pick up my new glasses and new contact lenses yesterday. I think my prescription is overwhelming -- I got a slight headache wearing my new glasses yesterday. On some people, glasses look very stylish. It is a hard concept for me. Never would I have believed that glasses can actually be fashionable -- but apparently, on the beautiful people, it can be. For me, I've worn glasses since the second grade -- when I was 19, and was first fitted for contact lenses, I was just glad to have been liberated from the binding shackles of spectacles. But as I am getting a tad bid older, my eyes tire easily, and frequent dryness has actually made the pendulum swing back into wearing glasses. I tried so hard to pick something at least remotely fashionable. Oh, how I wanted to be the model in the magazines, looking so chic with tortoise shelled rims! I ended up paying a good deal of dough on a new pair -- I've had the same glasses since the 10th grade, and that's been quite a while ago now. It's plastic, which a thicker edge, so it can hide the thickness of the lenses -- I have such poor sight... I am one of those wearing the coke-bottle glasses. Well, long story short, it didn't quite matter that it was something made by Calvin Klein... I still looked like the matron from a strict boarding school for girls. Nerdy, but mature -- like I belong in a library. Oh well.

I did horribly on the exam last night. It was exactly like running into a brick wall. Imagine yourself, sprinting in a 100 m race at the Olympics. Imagine, suddenly a brick wall, solid as rock, appears infront of you. Imagine that you are a very very fast runner. That's what it felt like last night. I saw these problems... and I did not know where or how to begin. I wanted to die. I predict something in the range of a "D" for the grade of this exam.

Math exam is in about 5.5 hours. Still trying to get some more mathematical elements into my head. Apparently, osmosis does not work. Sometimes, in times like this, I go into prayer mode. God, if you help me pass this exam with an adequate grade, I promise to become a more productive individual -- I'll get up early and exercise, volunteer at local children's hospital, cut down on caffeine, and stop calling my brother "dumb-ass." Five minute into that pseudo-prayer, I realize. I'm an atheist -- and even if there were a God, be him/her/it Zeus, Shiva, Ifrit, Jesus, or my cat, the deity would hardly care if I exercise, or cut down on caffeine. So why do I do this? I also say "god-dammit" when I am mad... which makes my best friend rather uneasy(she's Christian). I also refuse to capitalize the word "god." Actually, perhaps I should capitalize it, since the word "god" refers to an actual name of the god that Christianity worships. Hmm. I'll think about capitalizing "god" but I refuse to capitalize the "H" in the world "he" or "him" or "his" and etc.. when referring to pronouns and possessive pronouns and whatnots refering to the deity. I need to study. My gawd.

I read a part of Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul 101 at my local Barnes and Nobles. I actually sat down and read the first two chapters and I cried, because they were so moving. They make those chicken soup for everyone... teens, moms, womens, single dads, you name it, they wrote it. Well, there was this one particular phrase... I can't remember who said it. It was a quote... in fact, I can't even recall the exact wording, but it said something like... the person who enjoys his labor blah blah blah. I think the basic point was "A person who enjoys his labor has everything and then some." So eloquent when I paraphrase, I know, I know. =o)
